June 6, 2025 LGLC Summer Living Lands Series Starts June 11 with Moose in the Adirondack Park

Lake George, NY – The Lake George Land Conservancy’s (LGLC) annual summer presentation series, Living Lands, kicks off on Wednesday, June 11, with Moose in the Adirondack Park, presented by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Research Scientist David Kramer.

Moose were extirpated from the Adirondacks in the late 1800s and early 1900s due to habitat destruction and over hunting. But in the 1980s, moose sightings in the Adirondacks began to trickle in. Over the past few decades, moose have established a permanent population in the New York mountains. In 2015, the NYSDEC began actively monitoring it.

In this Living Lands program, attendees will learn about the life history and ecology of our largest state mammal and the new research initiative NYSDEC is conducting.

This is the first in a series of four presentations held Wednesdays at 5:30 pm at the LGLC office in Bolton Landing, or virtually.

Other topics are Wildlife Today and Tomorrow, presented June 25 by Alan Hicks, retired endangered species biologist with NYSDEC; History of James Caldwell’s Land Preservation, presented July 16 by Jeff Brozyna, long-time student of area history and past president of the LGLC Board of Directors; and All Native Snakes Found in our Neck of the Woods, presented July 12 by Dr. Bill Brown, retired herpetologist.

Presentations are free but in-person space is limited. Details and online registration are available at lglc.org/living-lands.
